Funny Little Images - trivial to work around (Score:3, Interesting)
Personally, I think the images are a waste of time. merlyn (Randal Schwartz) did a column in Web Techniques for the same basic thing.
Never one to resist a pointless challenge, before the article hit print, I wrote a "cracker" for it. The write-up is here [perlmonks.org], for those that may be interested.
You're going to have to get a lot more tricky than 3 letters with a consistent font to stop a 'bot. Most of the time is invested in creating the font table, but once you've got that, the pattern matching is trival.
